Bodega Bay, October 4

Today we explored

Bodega Bay is famous as the location of Alfred Hitchcock's movie, "The Birds."

Along the dock of the Tides Wharf Restaurant...

                                                          We saw a fish processing plant



                with a section of a sword fish...........................

From Bodega we drove to the Korbel Winery, home of the first champagne makers in the US.


We had a great guide provide the history of the Korbel family and how they evolved from cigar box manufacturers to champagne makers.

10,000 to 20,000 gallon barrels (old style).
Newer style, about 50-gallon barrels.
Like us, aging makes us better.

The finished products!
